Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives recently awarded a contract for the "Evaluation of the Archives Revealed Funding Programme 2026 - 2029" to SPARK INSIGHT AND RESEARCH LTD. This procurement, governed by the open procedure procurement method, was conducted to secure services for monitoring, evaluating, reporting, and embedding learning activities over the programme period. Headquartered in Richmond, The National Archives serves as a key public authority under central government. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 144,930 inclusive of VAT, spans from 6th May 2026 to 30th June 2029, with delivery services expected across regions UKI and UKJ in the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialised in evaluation consultancy services. The open procurement process and emphasis on various quality criteria, such as methodology, team composition, and experience in similar projects, indicate a competitive edge for firms with a robust track record in monitoring and evaluation, particularly within the heritage sector. Companies capable of demonstrating their approach to creating social value and managing environmental impacts would also find this an advantageous opportunity to showcase their expertise and expand their project portfolio within the public sector.
